This is a One-Of-A-Kind Dwarf Mini Jade

Dwarf Mini Jade, and scientifically known as the Portulacara Afra, is a favorite among elephants when dinner time rolls around.

The Jade has been nicknamed “The Elephant Plant” due to its symbiotic relationship with the world’s largest land mammal. As the elephants strip the leaves and cause general destruction during feeding frenzies, the fallen broken branches of the Jade propagate and within a few weeks the fleshy emerald leaves have grown back for more.

What Makes this Tree Unique? This grouping of Jades was acquired shortly after we purchasing the bonsai nursery in Florida. They had nice fat trunks with potential, but they were leggy. The branches were long and dangly, the foliage was not tight… they lacked style. They are approximately 10 years old. 


As you can see from the pictures, the foliage is “tight” on these trees from a lot of pruning, scars are healing from major cuts, etc. These are the type of developed trees that you’ve been emailing us about. Tree that are on their way to looking fabulous.

This Jade Bonsai couldn’t be more stunning or simpler to maintain. It’s truly one of a kind.

  • This Bonsai is 5" tall, measured from the table to the top of tree. The spread is 5"
  • It ships in a 4" Glazed Ceramic pot

The tree you see is the tree you'll receive.  

The Mini Jade 'Portulacara afra' Bonsai is a charming and compact bonsai tree that belongs to the Crassulaceae family. It is a variety of Portulacaria afra, a succulent plant native to South Africa, and has been meticulously trained and shaped to showcase its unique characteristics. 

Mini Jade's are highly prized for its small size and its ability to develop a thick, bonsai-like trunk over time. The trunk has a smooth, grayish-brown bark that adds to its aesthetic appeal. The leaves of this bonsai are small, round, and fleshy, with a glossy green coloration that gives the tree a vibrant and lively appearance.

One of the distinctive features of the Dwarf Jade Bonsai is its ability to store water in its leaves and stems, making it an ideal choice for bonsai enthusiasts who appreciate drought-tolerant plants. This adaptation allows the bonsai to survive in arid conditions and contributes to its resilience and ease of care.

The Mini Jade 'Portulacara afra' Bonsai is a popular choice among bonsai enthusiasts, especially those who appreciate the unique characteristics of succulent plants.
